Pittsburghers know that the times are out of joint. Somehow they're expecting the prosperity to blow up in their faces.

Can we bring LST 325 to Pittsburgh (again!)

So I can't explain why I had no idea this Post Gazette video, apparently from February, was online. Otherwise I would have certainly mentioned it. So better late than never:

Mentioned here on occassion, the video goes through some history of LST 750, the erstwhile USS Allegheny County (LSTs were not actually named for counties at the time), and its short career before being sunk in vicinity of the Philippines.
